Modems
Modems connect your computer and other devices to the Internet using cables. Unlike a router, a modem doesn’t provide WiFi connectivity. A modem acts as a digital translator, taking information signals from your cable, fiber or phone lines and making them accessible to your computer or devices. It’s important to remember modems do require a cable connection, and most smart home items are accessible only through a WiFi signal.

Routers
Routers provide access to the internet via WiFi, wirelessly connecting to devices in your home like your laptop, smart speaker, smart TV and more. Because most smart home items are only accessible through WiFi signals, a router is an important and basic part of any smart home system. Signal ranges may vary, but can easily be remedied with a WIFI range extender or larger WiFi capacity router.

Mesh Wi-Fi Routers
Unlike standalone routers, which use a single device to provide WiFi coverage to a limited area, Mesh Routers come in two to three units and offer multiple WiFi points, spreading your WiFi signal around your home more effectively. These can be placed strategically around your home, where you need a good internet connection the most. Think of them as satellite routers working to give you a strong WiFi connection throughout your home for max performance of smart home items.

Wi-Fi Extenders
A WiFi Extender connects with your router to help extend your internet signal, eliminating WiFi dead zones due to walls, furniture or open spacing, resulting in better access to smart home devices throughout your home. Simply place device between your router and the area where you want stronger WiFi coverage. A solid lower-cost alternative to buying a new router or mesh routers.
